Cornell will increase its payment to the Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit by $1.125 million over the next three years, President David Skorton said in a letter to TCAT released Monday.
The announcement follows months of student activism in support of TCAT and comes as a compromise after Skorton said in May that Cornell could not subsidize TCAT further to address its $740,000 deficit.
Annual payments to TCAT after fiscal year 2018 will be determined by a memorandum of understanding, according to President David Skorton. (Michelle Feldman / Sun Senior Editor)
